  i'm trying very hard to keep the set of packages small, and would
desperately like to *not* have to drag anything tex-related into it.
besides, AFAICT, i can generate postscript with FOP.  for testing
purposes, i'm using the XML source files for the subversion book, and
building various formats with their toolchain, and you can generate
postscript nicely without all of the above nonsense.
